We are dumb.
We are dumb.
“So say the folks at the top of our leadership ladder.
And they name names: Sarah Palin, taxpayers, Tea Party supporters, viewers turning away from the mainstream networks, newspaper and magazine readers canceling subscriptions, those without degrees from an elite university — all dumb.
Stupidity is the face of American exceptionalism for Barack Obama and his media and university supporters. New York Times columnist David Brooks, a graduate of the elite University of Chicago, says the nation’s a “joke,” that Sarah Palin and ordinary Americans should shut up and let the “educated class” lead. Bill Maher, who practices his contempt at HBO and honed his arrogance at Yale, labels us a “stupid people.””
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/06/sarah_palin_and_the_multitude.html
“We do not read what they want us to read, vote the way they want us to vote, buy what they want us to buy, or believe the way they want us to believe. The United States bounded by the Hudson River and Rodeo Drive is a black hole of intellect and culture desperately in need of guidance.
They are angry that 81% of us put the nation “on the wrong track” and that two-thirds are “outraged” with what the “educated class” is doing to us. Their response, however, is pushback. The Atlantic magazine, a favorite of our political and media elites, just this month explained the growing anger on Main Street: “It’s that you’re stupid.”
Sen. John Kerry (D-Martha’s Vineyard) said this past week he and others inside the Beltway are growing impatient with the average American’s failure to grasp the superior ways of elite Washington. We the people suffer from a “comprehension gap” because of our inability to see the “amazing resurgence” that our elites have delivered to a nation afflicted by more than 220 years of what the president calls a “flawed Constitution.””
The “flawed Constitution” has enabled us to have the highest standard of living in the history of mankind! The economic engine that drove that outcome was CAPITALISM!
Now if you believe in a “zero-sum game” you believe we stole our wealth and good fortune from those poor oppressed living under dictators or Marxists.
Our world’s wealth creation isn’t “zero-sum;” it is infinite. Like the stars in the heavens we have unlimited possibilities and to limit ourselves to the delusion that we stole our position is well…it’s dumb.

Unless I am reading this wrong, this statement above that established this blog, I quote: "We the people suffer from a “comprehension gap” because of our inability to see the “amazing resurgence” that our elites have delivered to a nation afflicted by more than 220 years of what the president calls a “flawed Constitution.”
…implies that this is a direct Kerry quote, and not Kerry “talking points” worked into a paragraph that suits the writer.
Also, this current wave of anti-intellectualism promoted by the Right as a Leftest viewpoint towards non-Libruls —to divide the public was and is bogus from the git-go.
Didn’t Bush graduate from Yale? Isn’t Yale an ivy-league college where many presidents have hailed from? Wouldn’t he also be considered an intellectual, an upper-class snob — or does the cowboy/oilman image diffuse the illusion of wealth and privilege?
Is Cheney a pauper, or did he not go to college and learned everything on his own?
Granted, some of those who live in their ivory towers within the Beltway in DC are totally clueless as to what the rest of the country is going thru, especially with this ‘recession’. If you visit the suburbs of DC in both VA & MD, you see that the highways are paved with gold – (no potholes), and the real estate maintains it’s value no matter what our economic status or Party is in office. So strong is the PORK for that area-no one suffers, only the little people in the ‘fly over states’.
People aren’t buying newspapers, magazines and other periodicals anymore because they prefer to get their information on the internet.
If Kennedy’s honorary degree from an Ivy League school is considered a "honor… with the title of “the Senator of Sleaze.”, then Glen Beck’s Honorary Degree from Liberty University must be just as sleezy!
Falling for the great divide propaganda being delved out today between intellectualism with degrees vs self-taught intellectual power is just that. Fall for it, and next they’ll be selling you beach-front-property in AZ.

Roxi, your comprehension is a bit off. Read it again. BTW, did you read the full article or just my shared portion?
Please show me where GW and Cheney called the vast majority (right-wing conservatives) dumb.
Roxi, you know that right? The majority by a long-shot is conservative. Google it if you don’t believe me.
Finally roxi, do you think of the majority of the American public to be dumb too?

“…She also said it’s not unusual for a governor to host get-to-know-you events, though she didn’t recall any cookout. And she said it was important to “really spend time and try to help people understand” the administration’s approach to pushing a pipeline project forward".
Is this not condescending towards the public, to ‘help’ them understand what Big Oil is all about? Our problem is LACK OF INFORMATION, not being stoopid!
or, is it “Why waste time discovering the truth when you can so easily create it” – author unknown, but most likely still in ‘power’….

What a WHINER! Does the writer of this gibberish actually think that Americans can be TOLD what to read and what not to read?! Buying Power is determined by the manufacturers – WE the people have little choice in the matter…unless we DON’T buy it – then it disappears! Supply & Demand, 101.
If you notice, in some stores they are no longer carrying tons of stuff from China – due to the anti-China sentiment of late. More articles from So. America…at least they’re starting to buy from the same ‘continent’.

Sorry roxi, I ASSUMED you knew the push of this blog was that the left thinks the right is dumb. When you attacked GW and Cheney I assumed you meant they did the same thing as Kerry and company.
My bad for thinking you were adding to instead of attacking another. I should know better but one can hope for change in their political opponents.
“Nah, never said nor implied that the majority of Americans were dumb-if you read my post — those who BELIEVE that the Libruls think the Rights’ are Dummies is just that — propaganda.”
So roxi, then you agree it is wrong for your political leaders to consider the majority of American dumb? Or do you think GW and Cheney made Bill Mahr and Kerry say those “dumb” things? How can it be propaganda if it is their words the author is quoting? With that said, why did some many on Obama’s payroll say Arizona’s law was wrong but had never read it? Is it propaganda those Obama appointees are playing in, or did they get forced to say that stuff by GW and Cheney too?
“Ha-that and saying that the majority of the internet is Right makes me feel like I’m talking to a black hole where information goes in and nothing comes out from the other side.”

Americans are FREE to believe what they want. If you haven’t noticed, this is why we have ELECTIONS. Since both parties (seemingly, or at least in theory) are direct opposites – they’re main focus is to BE IN POWER, so they can further their AGENDA!!!
So, while assuming, as a hypothetical that you do not believe in dead Polar bears, but think drilling for oil in the Artic is a good thing, you of course will support Politicians who encourage your way of thinking.
Is why some watch FOX news, and some watch MSNBC, and fewer watch CNN. People want to hear their beliefs VERIFIED…and act accordingly.

In the crapper due to left-wing Keynesian economic policies. So we fix it by doing more Keynesian economic fixes!
If it was GW and Cheney that drove our bus off the economic cliff, Obama is steering the ship of state into the Bermuda Triangle even faster.
Ayn was an objectivist. A libertarian or a real libertarian thinks any rule or law is freedom constricting. Look at your homeless that choose to be homeless and you see they are they way because they enjoy no strings no rules, and no moral judgments, all which they view as limiting their freedom.

Love the image of the bus steering into the Bermuda Triangle – good one, Randy.
And true to a point, some of the homeless choose to be homeless – some don’t. Some, like the ones living in the desert who are getting run-off by authorities have chosen to live in RV’s and avoid any form of society, like drivers’ licenses, etc.
Without rules tho, you have anarchy. Is why some communes worked and others didn’t, as they found they had to have structure. You can toss out all the rules, laws, government – everything – and still find that NEW RULES will be established.
This is where the Libertarian theory falls apart. You’d just be trading one law for another…and who would be in charge? Gotta always have a ‘king’, don’t we?

Hogwash. And, I’m not left, I’m Independent. The mind-set of ‘to make money you have to spend money’ has been just a tad overused, wouldn’t you agree? Too bad Obama didn’t cut up the credit card for the War Machine, but Lobbiest made sure that didn’t happen. BIG MONEY in KILLING PEOPLE, ever since the Civil War when embalming fluids & patriotic funerals/War medals became fashionable.
60% of the budget goes to WAR. When the Gov’t cut off the states for operating capital and threw it out the window so the rent-a-troops could pay soccer with our $90M+ cash – that should have been our first clue that our best interests were not being represented – but exploited.

Wow, that’s a pretty wide brush:(didn’t) listen, pay attention or (was)insulted.
I have a problem with Beck’s revisionists theory of History, guess it reminds me of the propaganda I was indoctrinated with in the South where the Reb’s could do no evil and the war had nothing to do with slavery but was a land-grab from the North; the Injuns were evil and had to walk to N. Dak., etc etc.
Beck has an addictive personality, as does Limbaugh. They’re trading their vices for political hype and making good $$ at it.
So, if it’s not LIES, then it’s just an uneducated ‘guess’ or ‘prediction’ of the actual truth. What is your definition of a LIE then? Or maybe they’re white lies?
When the masses are first led to believe one theory, or uneducated guess as FACT, and then later ‘corrected’ – isn’t the seed of that false theory already planted, which leads to rage?
Either they have the real info, or not at the time of broadcast. Otherwise, we may as well go to a Fortune Teller.

RUSH: The New York Times was able to ferret out a bit of deception. The story of the day is in the New York Times, a brazen bit of deceit. Obama goes to his press conference yesterday while everybody thinks that the top kill method is not only in progress at that moment but that we are having some success. However, the Times inadvertently publishes — I can’t believe they did this on purpose. Well, let me just read what they say here. This is exactly from the Times story: “The top kill effort has proceeded in fits and starts. BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early Thursday that the strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping on Wednesday night [the night before] when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil.” So when Obama did the press conference, “Plug the hole! Just plug the hole up!”

“LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK – MSNBC news commentator Keith Olbermann was evicted from his Mother’s basement by Suffolk County Police yesterday. Olbermann, who is about to turn fifty one years old, has lived in the basement for over thirty- two years. According to neighbors, Mrs. Olbermann told her son that it was time that he got his own place and that crying was not going to change her mind this time.
“I was surprised that she was finally able to be so forceful with him,” remarked a neighbor on condition of anonymity. “For years she’s wanted him to move, but when he starts crying she always caves. We’re all so proud of her!”
Olbermann is the host of MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Since 2003 he has been giving Republicans, especially former president George W Bush, verbal lashings that arouse far left liberals to such a degree that many become babbling idiots."

“According to several neighbors, Mrs. Olbermann had been complaining about her son’s refusal to pay rent. One source told The Daily Rash that she even took her son to small claims court several times just to get a few dollars for food and to help pay utility bills. But it was Olbermann’s odd obsessions with Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly that became the last straw for his Mother.
“Keith was always talking about the famous feud he was having with Bill O’Reilly,” remembered Oscar Peterson, a long time neighbor and friend of Mrs. Olbermann. “But it takes two people to have a feud and O’Reilly has never mentioned Keith on his show or in print. I sometimes wonder if he even knows who Keith is!”
Peterson rubbed his hands together and sighed.
“His Mom told me that he would spend hours downstairs standing face to face with his poster of Bill O’Reilly, screaming at it until his voice was so hoarse that he couldn’t speak.”"

Randy, you’re kidding of course about Valdez…that took 20 years to settle with the Repug Supremes fining them a pittance – AFTER most of the people affected were DEAD. Yeah, sweet deal for the Corps once again – rah rah rah.
Cheney temporarily put his $$ in a blind trust while ‘serving’(if you want to call it) the public. Do you know what he did once he left office? Before? In the private ‘energy meetings’ the public wasn’t allowed to know about with both content and ‘attendees’?
Btw, your stories about Olbermann are hysterical – I’ll have to tune in today and see what his rebuttle is. Thanks for the heads up!

Again roxi, we are after facts not how you feel. If you shoot an endangered polar bear I’d be happy to sit on the jury to convict you. If you shot a polar bear to save your life well I think your life is more valuable than a bears.
Sorry roxi to lump you in with the child-like lancaster has his bully-like name calling.
Perhaps roxi you could suggest a good anger management program for lancaster’s unresolved issues that are causing his outbursts.

“LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK – MSNBC news commentator Keith Olbermann was evicted from his Mother’s basement by Suffolk County Police yesterday. Olbermann, who is about to turn fifty one years old, has lived in the basement for over thirty- two years. According to neighbors, Mrs. Olbermann told her son that it was time that he got his own place and that crying was not going to change her mind this time.
____________________
MRS. OLBERMANN IS DEAD. SHE DIED A YEAR AGO OF BREAST CANCER. And fyi, his Dad died 2 months ago-so don’t try that one either.
THAT’S STRIKE 2 FOR YOU RANDY, in dissing other peoples’ mothers….WHO ARE ALREADY DEAD.

Roxi, I simply passed on the humor, if you don’t see humor in a parody that is a personal issue you have. I didn’t make up that parody. Parodies are fun when they seem close to the truth. That is what makes then sting so hard. When they do sting it is because of personal bias that makes them sting.
Dan Rather is full of humor. He passed on the rumor about GW, and it cost him his job. Dan is a person that has made a living by saying things so we trust him. This blog on the other hand is full of name-calling and bully tactics, feelings, and humor when you get the reaction from your target you expect.
This quote came from the Czech Republic.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the
necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

The London Daily Telegraph
From The London Daily Telegraph
On Foreign Relations
“Let me be clear: I’m not normally in favour of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States. But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama’s reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue.”
-London Daily Telegraph editor - Alex Singleton, April 11.
One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is President Obama’s animosity toward Great Britain, presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling Kenya (1895-1963).
One of Barack Hussein Obama’s first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11. He followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first state visit, the usual joint press conference with flags.
The president was “too tired” to grant the leader of America’s closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists.
Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his behavior as “rudeness personified.” There was more rudeness in store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations in September. “The prime minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure five minutes of face time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down meeting were rejected by the White House,” said London Telegraph columnist David Hughes. Mr. Obama’s “churlishness is unforgivable,” Mr. Hughes said.
The administration went beyond snubs and slights last week when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina’s specious claim to the Falkland Islands, a British dependency since 1833. The people who live in the Falklands, who speak English, want nothing to do with Argentina. When, in 1982, an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by force, the British — with strong support from President Ronald Reagan — expelled them.
“It is truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history,” wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. “Does Britain’s friendship really mean so little to him?” One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?
“I recently asked several senior administration officials, separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has forged a strong personal relationship during his first year in office,” wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the Washington Post, on Monday. “A lot of hemming and hawing ensued.” One official named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret. Another named German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, “Merkel too has been conspicuously cool toward Obama.”
Mr. Obama certainly doesn’t care about the Poles and Czechs, whom he has betrayed on missile defense. Honduras and Israel also can attest that he’s been an unreliable ally and an unfaithful friend. Ironically, our relations with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have never been worse. Russia has offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama’s abandonment of missile defense. Russia and China won’t support serious sanctions on Iran. Syria’s support for terrorism has not diminished despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations. The reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to our efforts at “engagement” by deepening its ties to North Korea.
And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their contempt for him.
For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is actually distrusted by its’ allies and not in the least feared by its’ adversaries. Nor is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans. Understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama’s relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize health care, Americans apparently have yet to notice his dismal performance and lack of respect in the world community.

Oh, maybe you don’t want to raise the bar and you want to point out my sins. Ok I can live with that. Thankfully we all can take solace that you are perfect.
On the other hand it makes sense whey libs want programs to help people see the world their way. Christians are no different except we want to ask you to do it voluntarily.

“Shouldn’t They Stay Together for the Sake of the Planet?
Those who blame global warming for the collapse of Al and Tipper Gore’s marriage may have it backward, according to a 2007 report from CNET News:
As if the burden of divorce weren’t bad enough, people with failed marriages can be blamed for global warming, according to a study by Michigan State University.
Divorced couples use up more space in their respective homes, which amounts to to 38 million more rooms worldwide to light, heat and cool, noted the report.
And people who divorced used 73 billion kilowatt-hours more of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water than they would otherwise in 2005.
Dissolving a marriage also means doubling possessions, from the lowly can opener to the SUV. The report, however, did not estimate how many more natural resources the children of shared-custody parents consume by getting birthday and holiday gifts twice.
Nor did it count the greenhouse gases spent to shuttle kids between their pair of energy-hogging households.
CBS News reported last night—and RealClearPolitics has video—that a Gore pal speculates Al’s loss in the 2000 election destroyed the marriage: “It’s been 10 years since that oddly public passionate kiss at the Democratic convention. That was followed by Gore winning the popular vote for President but losing the electoral vote. Family friend Sally Quinn says that may have done the marriage irreparable harm.”
If not being president was more than Gore could take, imagine how he might have crumbled under the stresses of being president."

“What we’re seeing now is that myth beginning to unravel. The type of rhetoric liberals have been indulging in the past ten years, the barely-controlled personal attacks and open menacing of every last individual who opposes them — Bush, Rove, Cheney, Rice, Palin, and Bachmann — serves as its own fuel. The more it’s repeated, the more incendiary it grows, the more it spreads, and the more used to it people become. It’s like a narcotic that you grow habituated to — every time you hit up, you need a bigger jolt. Eventually the threats become so lurid, so wild-eyed, that they begin to take on a life of their own. They become the standard means of expression. And at some definite but unknowable point, they begin to fulfill themselves. Some of your comrades, the more stupid, the more unbalanced, the more fanatical, begin taking them seriously, and start acting them out.”

“It’s all very similar to the events of the late ’60s, where wild rhetoric from the antiwar movement and related “revolutionary” outfits — the Black Panthers, the SDS, the Weather Underground — triggered ever-graver disturbances around the country until the entire cycle was brought to an abrupt halt at Kent and Jackson State universities. Thirteen people were killed in those confrontations — the price of cutting the revolutionary left completely out of American society. Students and casual protestors abandoned the antiwar effort. The movement withered and collapsed. The would-be revos were transformed into little more than armed gangs, to be hunted down and mopped up through the ensuing decade.
The more subdued leftists who had aided in triggering the nightmare dodged the bullet in large part by being shielded by media — at the time effectively a monopoly under liberal control — along with the fact that their political opposition consisted of Richard Nixon and his merry crew. The Watergate saga was on one level a complex and successful effort to paint the political “establishment” as evil enough to justify the more vicious tactics of the antiwar left. All the same, it required quite some time for leftists to live down the excesses of the ’60s."

“Not letting a good crisis go to waste, MSNBC’s left-wing rabble-rouser Ed Schultz insisted on the June 1 edition of Morning Joe that the BP oil spill reinforces the need for new legislation to restrict corporations from engaging in political speech.
“I really believe that this what is happening in the Gulf is a classic [example] of how we do need campaign finance reform,” implored Schultz. “It’s all interconnected.”
To provoke this remark, Morning Joe co-host Willie Geist tossed Schultz a softball while plugging the liberal activist’s new book.
“One of the things you talk about a lot on your show and write about in the book is the relationship between money and politics,” declared Geist. “So what you have essentially, you could say, is a form of legalized bribery. I contribute to you, Senator Schultz, and you carry out my interests in Washington. What do we do to change that? We all know that’s the problem. We all know people are acting on behalf of corporations and not people.”
Schultz could have made the more reasonable, though nonetheless misguided, argument that the oil spill highlights the dangers of offshore drilling, but the MSNBC anchor opted to make the more conspiratorial and puzzling argument. Apparently some liberals are eager to exploit this crisis to advance more of their agenda, even if it means pushing bizarre claims of the connection between the Gulf oil spill and campaign finance reform."

“That’s not the way the big government operates. In fact, it goes against everything that government believes in. Government doesn’t believe in treating people like trustworthy adults. It always wants to boss them around like they’re children. Lee Harris captures the point in his new book The Next American Civil War: The Populist Revolt Against the Liberal Elite. He writes:
The whole point of the paternalism exercised by parents towards their children is to make sure that one day their kids will be able to take charge of their own lives… Its goal is to turn infants into adults. But the paternalism of the modern liberal state… reverses this pattern. Its goal is to turn adults into infants."

“"We’ve come back," Kerry proclaims, proudly pointing to Wall Street, the economy, and the general state of the republic. The media applauded (with the exception of the Wall Street Journal, which warned that whatever Kerry was doing, he should “stop doing it in public”). If the poet Robert Browning (dead nineteenth-century white guy who originated political incorrectness when he gave up being an atheist and vegetarian and wrote soppy love poems to an individual of the opposite, not same, sex) had been a Washington Post editor, he would have gleefully slapped on the headline “Kerry Says Obama’s in His Heaven, All ’s right With the world!”
Our traditional media, both left and right, regard this newly aroused dummy class (us) with disdain and anger topped with a heaping helping of arrogance. The deputy managing editor of National Review, even while defending Sarah Palin from vicious, gratuitous attacks (yawn), makes sure his brothers and sisters-in-brains on the right know that he agrees “quite intensely” with attacks on her rhetoric.

And so we need the guidance of our betters. Or so goes the thought processes, the critical thinking shaped by the identical exposure of Marcus and Frum to an education provided by Yale University and Harvard Law School. Harvard, especially, is where our current leadership has been drawn.
And at Harvard, the transformation just underway in the rest of the nation is complete. More representative of its values are recent honorary degree recipients that include Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA), whom one London newspaper honored with the title of “the Senator of Sleaze.” On the cultural front, the university honored Ivy League art critic Dr. Leo Steinberg, who, we are told by the “most widely-read fine arts magazine in the world,” has thrilled the arts world with his studies of “the prominent display of the genitals of the infant Christ [in art].”
From George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to Ted Kennedy and Leo Steinberg.
And they call us dummies?”
